Actually, we were all kids before he became a Bishop in 76.
I don't know why she didn't have us call him that! Maybe because my sisters were already married and both were preggie at the time, she thought we might protest even more!
Like I said, all the cousins call him "Uncle Gil" but then again, I think we are the only Catholics left!!! Pretty bad considering that he and my mom came from a family of 12!
Ooops! Make that all adults! (I was actually 15 but felt like an adult)
My oldest sister named her son Gilbert after him, then became a lesbian. Go figure. However, she feels she is sanctioned to remain Catholic because of the Gay ministry in Cleveland.
Oh thank you Bishop Pilla!
